PleasingFungus posted:in half-assed defense of trump, environmentalists are using california's water, in a desperate attempt to keep our last salmon from going extinct a big part of the salmon conversation has to do with the economy, for example it's the department of commerce's national marine fisheries service that plays the most direct role in dictating how the cold water pool in reservoirs (mostly shasta) are to be managed. although the fish and wildlife service also has a say now for a soliloquy on california water we start with one basic reality; 80% of the rain falls north of sacramento and 80% of the water is used south of sacramento. you've gotta get that water from north to south somehow. the only natural hydrological route is through the delta, which is where the sacramento and san joaquin rivers meet and head toward the golden gate bridge  the san joaquin river, coming from the southeast (it runs not far north of fresno near its upper reaches), is sucked dry in all but the wettest years by agriculture, so it's not a major factor. all that northern water stored in those reservoirs from the rainy season flows down the sacramento into the northeast corner of the delta and is sucked into two major canals by massive pump stations on the southwest corner not only does that pull sacramento water, it also pulls saltwater from the ocean, which is an obvious drawback; also, a lot of fish get chopped up into tiny little bits by the pumps in the process, migrating salmon and trout go the wrong way up rivers flowing backwards, and a bunch of other poo poo. pulling all that water, and the salt from the ocean, into the delta doesn't just gently caress with the ecosystem, it also threatens industries like farming in the delta (who have legal rights to fresh water at their pump heads antecedent to almost everybody else's rights) and salmon fisheries all the way up the pacific coast. it's not an ideal way of getting water down south, and even if there were zero environmental restrictions, the brutal reality that those pumps are pulling on both the sacramento river and The loving Ocean puts a cap on how much fresh water can make it through this bottleneck a quick look at current reservoir levels will help show that most of the rain el nino brought to california this year is penned up north of the delta. take a look at this image, but also click on this web site http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/resapp/getResGraphsMain.action  see how the two key northern reservoirs, shasta and oroville, are above historical averages, and the southern reservoirs aren't? note especially how low san luis is - that's the reservoir where northern water is stored after its journey across the delta, before it's sent down either the california aqueduct, to LA, or the delta-mendota canal, to one of the most intensive farming regions on earth, the san joaquin valley try using the 'change date' function at the top right of the map on the web page. set it to a year ago - you'll see that the northern reservoirs were hilariously empty, but san luis was actually fuller than it is right now! set it to a year like 1998 and you'll see that when there's a couple years of non-drought hydrology, san luis can get full - but one rainy winter wasn't enough to do it. the delta pumps have their limits. would those limits be higher without environmental regulations? yes, of course. would the cap on pumping be even higher with, ahem, a tunnel directly connecting them to the sacramento river, bypassing the delta and therefore the ocean and the salmon migration route entirely? why yes indeed they would.  assuming the law protects delta inflow from the sacramento, such a solution would be win-win-win - even though the pumps would have to accept some limits when natural sacramento river outflow wasn't enough to satisfy both delta requirements and a little so-cal skimming off the top, they could be running at a higher rpm than they can now, since they'd be pulling directly from a freshwater river flowing downhill as opposed to a brackish wetland open to The loving Ocean but consider this question; have los angeles and san joaquin valley agribusiness, in the long run, ever not sucked up every single drop of water that engineering could allow them, regardless of what the law might have said before their voters and lobbyists changed it?* THAT, not the hydrology or the environmentalism, is the problem it's why an engineering solution that, given current regulatory restrictions, would enhance the efficiency of the system has been blocked ever since it was called the peripheral canal and jerry brown's dad was governor. it's why environmentalists, hilariously, sadly, prefer to have southern california's straw pulling through the largest wetland on the pacific coast rather than around it - every page of california's history indicates that if you give southern california a drop of water they'll take a million acre-feet, and when it comes to cutting off so-cal's tap, environmentalists hold a better hand of cards in court in the 'through' case than the 'around' one and it's not like southern california is assuaging anyone's fears - the most powerful municipal water district in america used their portion of southern california's taxpayer dollars to buy a couple islands in the delta, including two that the planned tunnel would run under. a hundred years ago, los angeles bought up the owens valley's water rights, and for a century now the city of los angeles has been sucking the owens valley dry. northern california is right to be afraid  http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/04/11/la-water-district-buying-up-delta-islands/ all that is to say that when march floods go into the ocean instead of into san luis reservoir, sure it gives san joaquin valley republicans something to whine about, but there's a hell of a lot more going on here than just culture wars mmx: electric boogalmmxvi. we're talking about engineering, hydrology, politics, and history - the constraints on these pumps are not just written up by whiny san francisco liberals, they're also underwritten by billions of dollars in salmon industry investments, farmers in the delta with inalienable water rights, and even every once in a while actual physical constraints, if you can even imagine that a little thing like gravity could stop water in california from flowing toward money *admittedly, inter-state and -national compacts regarding the colorado river have set a limit on how much water southern california can suck out of that particular insane mountain-climbing straw, and they haven't been able to kill the delta yet, but when you take the long view, those guys have a way of getting their hands on water. those tunnels aren't even gonna be on the ballot this year! so yeah, i may be guilty of exaggeration, but it's not like the owens valley didn't get sucked dry, and it's not like nobody ever wrote a movie called chinatown i bet trump talked to some california republicans, because he's delivering their talking points in his style. as always, he's telling his audience what they want to hear, but let's not pretend that he's bad at telling his audience what he wants to hear. somebody in that organization is doing their research, not into reality but into perception oystertoadfish fucked around with this message at 04:06 on May 28, 2016 |

From searching on twitter, I've gathered that Joel said, "this next song is dedicated to someone who has kept me entertained the last few months -- Donald Trump." Then he played "The Entertainer." Looking forward to the tweets that come from Trump when someone explains to him what actually happened. edit: apparently he's been doing this regularly, and also dedicates "New York State of Mind" to Ted Cruz. e2: lol Von Sloneker fucked around with this message at 04:07 on May 28, 2016 |
